Toad Hall off the mark for Mullins The always-prominent Toad Hall (4/7f) kicked on from the last flight for a decisive victory in the Pro Solar NI Maiden Hurdle over an extended two-miles-five-furlongs at Downpatrick. He took over there and stretched away on the run-in for Paul Townend to win by 10 lengths from Quantum Quest (9/2). Game On (6/1) was another three and a-quarter lengths back in third. Willie Mullins said: "It is not before his time to win. "It has just been niggles here and there, nothing major, but that's the way with horses. "I think this fella will have one more run over hurdles possibly, and then in the new season head over fences. He looks a fine chasing-type."
